NYU Langone launches two new eye centers in Brooklyn
Longtime Bay Ridge Physician Leads Efforts to Expand Ophthalmology Services
NYU Langone has launched two new eye care practices in Brooklyn, as it continues to expand access to its medical services throughout the borough.
The NYU Langone Eye Center-Bay Ridge is located at 7901 Fourth Ave., the site of the former Lazzaro Eye Center. The second practice, NYU Langone Eye Center-Brooklyn Heights, is located at 149 Pierrepont St.
Both provide comprehensive eye and vision care and are staffed by ophthalmologists specially trained to diagnose, monitor and medically or surgically treat all ocular and visual disorders of the eye, as well as prescribe vision services, including glasses and contact lenses.
Bay Ridge ophthalmologist Douglas R. Lazzaro, MD, MBA, FACS, is taking a lead role in helping NYU Langone identify opportunities for continued expansion. Chief of Ophthalmology at NYU Lutheran Medical Center since 2003, Lazzaro recently took on additional responsibilities for NYU Langone as vice chair of clinical affairs and business development for the Department of Ophthalmology and physician director for the entire health system’s network development in Brooklyn.
